Yes, it's a shame. Years ago, when I was in the service, if one of us
did something the sarg didn't appreciate, the whole troup was punished.
He got us looking out for each other, but the punishment of all users of
dynamic ips DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH JACK-Sxxx!
I used to utilize 'transport' when only a few sites were blocking dynamic
ips but it's not worth the hassle now. I relay them all thru my
provider, but I still receive direct.
